Giants 10, Robins 6: New York pounded Brooklyn pitching for twenty-one base hits, four each from Larry Doyle and Ross Youngs, to come from behind and win at a canter at Ebbets Field and nudge the Robins out of the top spot in the standings. The home club certainly had their moments with the bats and legs, as Tommy Griffith hit his League-leading third home run and Ivy Olson stole three bases, and they led by a score of 6-3 through five innings. But the Giants' bats exploded for six hits and five runs in the top of the 6th, as Rube Marquard (16 hits allowed in 5.2 innings) just could not find a way to stop the onslaught. A pair of insurance runs in the 9th allowed the visitors to withstand their own four fielding miscues and Jesse Barnes to go the route allowing eight hits and issuing no free passes. Benny Kauff and Heinie Zimmerman also had big days for NY, with three hits apiece. [box]

Pirates 3, Cubs 0: Wilbur Cooper was masterful in hurling his second shutout of the early season, holding Chicago to but two base hits (and none after the 5th inning) as Pittsburgh won in front of the home crowd. The Pirates broke from the gate early, with Max Carey singling with one out in the first and scoring after a stolen base and Casey Stengel's base hit. The same crew was at it again in the 6th, as Carey walked, stole second and took third on a wild throw before scoring on Stengel's sacrifice fly ball. But this time, the Pittsburghers kept at it - George Cutshaw singled and swiped second and Vic Saier knocked him home with a safe hit. Meanwhile. Cooper was dominating the Chicago batters, retiring thirteen of the final fourteen and allowing a baserunner to reach second base only once in the game. Carson Bigbee had three hits, and Cutshaw had a single, double and two stolen bases. [box]
